renewable energy projects and fuels. by 1980 everybody knows the fuel choice for alternative, turned out a chemist was in charge of a renewable energy, dr. william avery and he immediately saw what was coming up and he was working on energy to produce electricity and water in great numbers and he said all i have to do is electrolyzed the water and i have hydrogen, he ran a test for the company and he didn't have the facility available so on land he had electricity and water and made a small test lab if you will using 25 tons of carbon a day, 33 tons of methanol. he made a huge jump with the cold slur and the others looked and said that is not a good idea. we can be more efficient. in one stroke they ran tests and the output jumped 75%. the upshot of this is invention -- i think you would appreciate reading the book. his book that he unfortunately died seven years ago but his book describes this thing. the idea that we believe we can make methanol with this process, cheaper -- >> host: we got the idea. thank you for that
